Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista

Nish Nishant

It's out now :jig: Install VS 2005, then install SP1, then install SP1 Update for Vista. Remember, this is not SP1 for Vista, this is sorta like an SP for Vista for SP1. Link to the SP1 Update[^]

Installed a few hours ago. Very nice. I cannot debug ASP.NET applications anymore.

So the other day I installed SP1 for VS 2K5 (I'm running WinXP), but that does the SP do, I didn't read the release notes, but I can't see any changes in the IDE and my intellisense is still buggy .... :confused::confused:

I've just started using SharpDevelop in earnest, and I have to say that I'm impressed. There are a few things that I wish it did, but it's a viable (free) alternative to VS2005.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I don't think you can blame that on VS2005... You are reading an extremely subtle reference to his lack of intelligence, and that it's supposed to be funny - Cancel or Allow?

lol, but I wonder what he meant with buggy. I can't say the C# intellisense is buggy. The C++ intellisense is however a whole different story.

Here are a few things http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/12/18/visual-studio-2005-sp1-released.aspx[^] And I am sure you can find the full list if you search for it. One of the more critical bugs was a memory leak in STL (std:stringstream) which is now fixed :)

Ah, it's almost comforting: staring at a Microsoft dialog that says "Time Remaining: 0 seconds" for a good 10 minutes. EDIT: And I still can't drag a .txt file from explorer into VS2005. F****** amateurs. (And no, I would not be mad if that was my only problem.)

It works fine for me (on XP and Vista).

It works for me on XP, and it works under Vista for VC++ 6.0, but not VS2005.

I meant it works in VS2005 on XP and Vista. I can drag and drop text files, .cpp and solution files as well.

Yeah I saw that in the newsletter and installed it, still have no idea what it does and was tempted but not enough to actually do it to post to someone there that this is quite possibly the worst named software release in human history. All I could think of reading the info is "But I just installed VS 2005 sp1 a month or more ago? WTF is this?" All I can gather is that it's kind of a replacement of sp1 called sp1 that is newer.

Ray Cassick

Yeah, they should have just called this SP2 and got it over with.

It's pretty obvious what it is to me. It's an update to VS to make it run as intended on Windows Vista. It's irrelevant to anyone running VS 2005 on XP. They did say some months ago that VS 2005 SP1 was not compatible with Vista.

But that would have been more confusing. This update is for Vista only. If they'd called it SP2 people would have thought it was for XP too. As background, Microsoft had originally intended to have a single SP1 for both XP (oh, and 2000) and Vista. But they were unable to produce it in a timely fashion, so they thought they'd push out SP1 to satisfy the XP and 2000 users and patch Vista later, rather than delay the whole thing to now. This is on Somasesgar's blog Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Beta and Visual Studio support for Vista[^]

No sorry, when I got my vista station at the end of February one of the updates I installed was Visual Studio SP1 for *Vista*. This is also VS SP1 for Vista, but a new one. If that's not confusing I don't know what is.

I am aware of only this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BB4A75AB-E2D4-4C96-B39D-37BAF6B5B1DC&displaylang=en[^] for 2000, XP and Vista released in December and the SP1 update for Vista that we are discussing here. If there is some other version of SP1 then that is indeed confusing. But nothing else shows up in Google.
